Honey Drop 49: The Power in the Hollow

eejoseph,

“My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9

The paradox Paul embraced

He asked for the thorn to leave. 
Three times. 
He was met with a no— 
and a greater yes.

Not relief. 
But rest. 
Not escape. 
But indwelling.

The weak – the powerful

Weakness is not patched. 
It is filled. 
It is not the flaw in the design. 
It is the dwelling place of power.

Christ does not hover above the ache. 
He rests upon it. 
He makes His home 
in the hollow.

The drop

Grace is not a crutch. 
It is the structure.

Power is not proven by strength. 
It is perfected in surrender.

And the boast is not in what we bear,  but in who bears us.

The thorn stayed. 
But so did Christ. 
And the hollow became holy.
